Lot 77
1817 N-8 R2 PCGS graded AU58, CAC Approved. Frosty light steel brown with darker steel brown and chocolate toning on the devices. Hines of underlying very faded mint color show through in the protected areas on both sides and this cent has great eye appeal. The only notable mark is a spot of darker reddish chocolate brown toning on the end of the wreath stem. Looks mint state but there is a bit of friction on the highest points of the devices. Nicely struck EDS with crisp dentils and no trace of a "Mouse" break on top of the head. Struck slightly off center to K-1. Our grade is AU50+. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #36571. Estimated Value $600 - UP
